If you guys didn’t know, Jinggg has to leave paper Rex after champs due to be Singaporean and Singaporeans have to do mandatory military training at a certain age. So a replacement would be mandatory. Paper Rex are currently looking at Egoist but I don’t think he’s a right match as a he plays killjoy and cypher. I think they should get Ray4c from dominatus. He’s a tier 2 Indonesian who specifically only plays Raze and he’s cracked at it. He made Indonesia challengers finals in split 2 by ONLY playing raze and he was carrying his team really hard too. He also has that W gaming style that paper Rex uses.

if Fnatic throw even harder then their match against LOUD and have an insane off day coupled with FUT firing on all cylinders and FUT somehow beat Fnatic. Would definitely be the upset of the year, maybe even more then BLG beating NRG twice.

FUT and BiliBili are going home tmrw 😭 w run tho ngl

Russia is considered part of asia and Europe. The far east side of Russia is considered part of Asia and not Europe making Something an Asian.

Some people were confused about this so I wanted to clear things up. Something originates from the far east of Russia from a town named Vladivostok which is considered to be part of Asian side of Russia. Which means that technically something is an Asian. He is still considered to be an import because Riot has classified any Russian to be part of EMEA wether they are from the European or Asian side. This is also why he was always playing in Japanese challengers because Tokyo servers are closer to him then Moscow servers.

alr bro, he plays a couple agents but not 13

just saying how just being flexible will raise you value. DRX has no reason to kick Rb where as sentinels could easily get newer duelist talent.

Over the course of 2023 and 2022 he has played the following agents at a VERY HIGH level

Duelists he has played:
Jett
Raze
Yoru
Neon

Initiators he has played:
Sova
Fade
Kayo
Skye

Sentinels he has played:
Killjoy
Chamber
Sage

Controllers he has played:
Astra
Harbor

When you compare someone like TenZ who can only play Jett and kayo, it makes sense why TENZ is not attending lans but Rb is still attending lans. Bro literally mains 13 agents which is mental. He can probably play even more agents like omen or cypher, he just hasn't had the need to yet.

And yes paper Rex clears

IF THEY BEAT EG THEN THEY JUST HAVE TO BEAT DRX WHICH EDG CLEARS SO THATS TOP 3

@MODS HURRY UP

FR FNS USED TO HAVE MULTIPLE MASTERCLASSES ON THIS MAP

FR

ITS EVEN A MAP DIFF

buddy I watched most of the entire EMEA league and fit1nho was the most inconsistent and shit duelist in the league. Even keloqz diffed him in TH vs GIA

most common spanish and giants flair vlr member

I wish he comes back stronger, he has good potential.

he was so shit throughout the regular season. nukkye and hoody carried them through the regular season but they still couldn’t make masters

facts but they couldn’t make it to a lan this year. fit1nho literally had the highest high

MAN IS THE MOST INCONSISTENT DUELIST IN FRANCHISING. HE HAS THE HIGHEST HIGHS (72/58) TO THE ABSOLUTE LOWEST LOWS (20/36). MAN NEEDS TO RUN IT BACK IN CHALLENGERS AND REPROVE HIMSELF.

People are saying that if zeta goes international, then they will lose fans but in reality, they probably won’t loose as many as people think. In the EMEA league, there is 3 Spanish orgs and all 3 of them are only retaining 1 Spanish player with the rest of the roster being international. Imo, ZETA, DFM, and GENG should go international while retaining one player from their country. I also included GENG bc there is too many Korean teams that really won’t make an impact in lans. DRX Is the only team that will realistically make a run.

KEKW

lowkey everyone calling Leo or derke the best player in the world but imo I think Alfajer is better then them. Leo, alfa, derke, and chronicle are all pretty good but Alfajer jst seems to be clutching and hitting insane shots with smart util. Just my opinion tho

is it just me or was split ALWAYS an Astra map. This was the one map which Astra used to have a 100% pickrate but now omen is doing really well on it. The emea teams especially love omen on split but some other teams are catching on to it like DRX.

nah the loud rumors weren’t confirmed at the time and DRX looked like they where in shambles with their Tokyo performance with their 6 man roster.

DOES THIS MEAN FPX WILL BEAT EG????
fut vs t1 was less of a upset but t1 was the marginal favorite.

I didn’t watch the actual game, just saw the scores. Is DRX in their champs 2022 form or is LOUD really shit? pls lemme know

if isn’t playing Jett maps then what will he op on

ITS JUST TRIAL I THINK BUT WTF

leaf gone???

dep showed up in LCQ and TENNN’s raze has always been pretty good. The main reason to bench sugerzero was to make way for SyouTa, he’s actually so underrated and insane.

fr but Jemkin is better imo, but it depends if he speaks Japanese

crazy underrated controller from Japan, second highest rating after Jemkin in Japanese challengers.

New roster and roles

Jemkin - Primary Duelist (only if he knows Japanese which he might since he’s half Japanese. If not then they can get Meiy, iZu, or CLZ)

TENNN - Raze/Flex

Laz - Sentinel and IGL (which included chamber)

Dep - Primary initiator

SyouTa - Controller

Coaches:
XQQ - Head Coach
JUNiOR - Assistant Coach
Astell - Assistant Coach

nah they couldn’t do well because they just don’t gel together. Same story with Shopify rebellion, good players individually, they just don’t go well together.

Crazy how everyone on this team was not doing too well when they were together but once they parted ways, they all became so much more successful.

Tex -> The Guard which won him ascension while filling Sayaplayers shoes well or even better

s0m -> stayed with NRG but with a brand new roster and got success throughout 2023 and is probably the best player on that team

Ethan -> Evil Geniuses which landed him to get 2nd place at masters tokyo being very reliable

eeiu -> got lots of success on M80 but choked at the end, will probably get picked up for tier 1

hazed -> got picked up by TSM and was doing well, he just personally decided that he didn’t fit well with the team which landed in him leaving on his own

JoshRT -> same story as Tex just as a coach instead of a player. Had to fill even bigger shoes as mCe was very important.

Zikz -> became assistant coach for EG and got to 2nd place at masters

I think will kinda be back in champions. I think he will have a 15-25% pick rate across all maps. His best maps will most likely be bind, lotus, split, haven and maybe fracture. I think he will be good on all those maps but just for certain teams. It will be good for teams that have a seperate Jett player and a separate raze/other duelists player like eg with demon1 and jawgemo. While teams like Fnatic probably wouldn’t want to use it because derke is a really good Jett and raze.

The walkouts in the international events were so good bro. When each player walked out individually from each side of the stage. Also with the robotic voice. I felt like it gave so much more attention to each player and it was just so so much cooler imo. I really hope they bring it back for champions 2023.

it’s very likely that the second place curse will hit them but im hoping that they could possibly break it 🙏🙏

and they did all this with only kangkang trying. Hardly anyone else tried and they still got that far, also most teams are suppose to get better over time and Edg looks like they have a high skill ceiling. My rating is not based off their Tokyo performance, it’s based off what they should be in champions after growing.

Paper Rex are jst too good bro 🙏🙏

They look like they have the a very high skill ceiling, they made it to 5-6 with pretty much only kangkang trying.

cope 🙏

1. Fnatic
2. Paper Rex
   —————————
3. Edward Gaming (high skill ceiling + cope🙏)
4. Evil Geniuses
5. NRG
6. Team Liquid

7. LOUD (VERY fraudulent)
8. T1 (trust me)
9. KRÜ
10. GIANTS
11. DRX
    —————————
12. ZETA Division
13. FUT Esports
14. NAVI
15. Bilibili Gaming (could maybe be higher, don’t know much about this team but whzy is suppose to be pretty good)

kinda confused about LOUD, but thoughts?

none the less he still made LCQ finals, koldamenta definitely couldn’t do that

new igls like kiNgg have proven that you can be good mechanically and still IGL

It’s not all about age, it’s also about not having the mechanical skill anymore while still having the brains
